On the construction project work and the use of heavy equipment manufacturing project is needed in order to support the government's development in the fields of infrastructure development and explores the results of mining products, such as cement and coal.
Advantages of using heavy equipment apart from pdad time efficiency, especially the efficiency of the time. before determining the type and amount of equipment and should be understood first attachmentnya function and its application, because if the use of heavy equipment that is not appropriate to the conditions and the jobs situation will affect the form of lower production losses, among others, failure to achieve schedule or predetermined targets or loss costs improper repair.
The following kinds of heavy equipment and their functions,
1. Understanding Heavy Equipment
Heavy equipment (which is often known in the science of Civil Engineering) is a tool used to assist humans in performing construction work of a building structure. Heavy equipment is an important factor in the project, especially construction projects as well as mining and other activities with a large scale (Rostiyanti 2009)
The purpose of the use of heavy equipment is to enable people in their work, so that the desired results can be achieved more easily with a relatively short time.
Heavy equipment commonly used in the project constructs include:
- Tool carrier such as loaders, truck and conveyor belt;
- Tool digging (excavator) such as backhoe, front shovels, clamshells;
- Dozer,
- Tools such as soil compactor rollers and compactors, and others.
Heavy equipment can also be categorized into several classifications. The classification is the functional classification and the classification of operating heavy equipment heavy equipment.
Functional classification of Heavy Equipment
What is meant by functional classification tool is a tool division tersebutberdasarkan main instrument functions. Based on the function of heavy equipment over the following dapatdibagi (Rostiyanti 2009)
- Land Processing Equipment
- Digger
- Tool Carrier Material
- Displacement Tool Material
- Tamping Tool
- Materials Processing Equipment
- Final Placement Tool Material
Operational classification of Heavy Equipment
- Tool with Activator
- Static Equipment
